Abstract
Résumé

We prove the Hölder regularity (Theorem 2.1) for weak solutions to singular quasilinear elliptic equations whose prototype is

{\begin{matrix} - Δ_{p} u = \frac{K (x)}{u^{δ}} + g (x) & in Ω; \\ u |_{\partial Ω} = 0, u > 0 & in Ω, \end{matrix}

(P)

where Ω is an open bounded domain with smooth boundary,

1 < p < \infty

,

δ > 0

,

K \in L_{loc}^{\infty} (Ω)

satisfies

0 ⩽ K (x) ⩽ const \cdot dist {(x, \partial Ω)}^{- ω}

for a.e.

x \in Ω

,

0 < ω < 1 + (1 - δ) (1 - \frac{1}{p})

, and

0 ⩽ g \in L^{\infty} (Ω)

. Theorem 2.1 together with the Schauder fixed point theorem can be used to obtain the existence of weak solutions to the singular quasilinear elliptic system (PS) described in the Introduction.

Nous démontrons la régularité höldérienne (Théorème 2.1) des solutions faibles des équations quasi-linéaires elliptiques singulières de la forme suivante :

{\begin{matrix} - Δ_{p} u = \frac{K (x)}{u^{δ}} + g (x) & in Ω; \\ u |_{\partial Ω} = 0, u > 0 & in Ω, \end{matrix}

(P)

où Ω est un ouvert borné régulier,

1 < p < \infty

,

δ > 0

,

K \in L_{loc}^{\infty} (Ω)

satisfait

0 ⩽ K (x) ⩽ const \cdot dist {(x, \partial Ω)}^{- ω}

pour p.p.

x \in Ω

,

0 < ω < 1 + (1 - δ) (1 - \frac{1}{p})

et

0 ⩽ g \in L^{\infty} (Ω)

. Théorème 2.1 combiné avec le théorème du point fixe de Schauder permet de démontrer lʼexistence de solutions faibles de systèmes elliptiques quasi-linéaires singuliers de la forme (PS) (voir Introduction).
